Lyrics
A maid went to Comber her markets to learn
To sell for her mammy three hanks of yarn
She met with a young lad all on the highway
Which caused this young damsel to dally and stay.
Oh come sit down beside me I’ll do you no harm
Come sit down beside me my new song to learn
Here is three guineas your mammy to pay
And leave by your yarn till the next market day.
She sat down beside me the grass it was green
Her face was the fairest that ever you seen
The light in her eyes would lead angels astray
I could sit by her side till the next market day.
This maid she went home she went to her bed
The words of the new song still rang in her head
I’ll search till I find him by land or by sea
Till I learn the new song called the next market day.
